If this is the engine that I've been reading about for the last few days that was a 235 truck block that had the hydralic lifters installed I don't see how it can be expected to run correctly when it's impossible to pump up the lifters.
If your trying to adjust the lifters according to the hydralic specs and there taint no oil there to pump them up then all its gonna do is distroy the valves eventually not to mention the cam, lifters, pushrods and rockers.
That block is not set up to supply oil to the lifters unless it's had some major changes made to it. Before I turned the key one more time I would get hold of the guy that did the machine work on the engine and ask him; Did you modify the block to supply oil to the lifters?????? and get a difinitive YES it has been modified for that, from him.
I don't see how an freshly rebuilt engine could possibly have this much wrong with it.
